Genoise Sponge



This is another 21st birthday cake I baked a few months ago. It's a Genoise sponge cake filled with custard and covered with white chocolate ganache decorated with chocolate pieces and topped with caramel.

Genoise sponge is basically sponge cake with butter added. This particular cake didn't go very well and was a tad heavy because my incorporation of the butter into the mixture before baking wasn't quick enough. Will reattempt when I have the confidence to do so.

However, I was pleased with the overall effect. Dark and white chocolate is an attractive combination, in my humble opinion.

Going to crawl into bed for a good coma-like sleep. Exhausted!
